As ought not to slide from your memorial;
For they have opened such comfortable gear,
As is to the health of this kind universal,
Graces of the Lord and promises liberal,
Which he gives to man for every age,
To knit him to Christ, and so clear him of bondage.
Bale, God’s Promises
(3) (A historical play.)
For non other cawse God hath kyngs constytute
And gevyn them the sword, but forto correct all vyce.
